The
delivery of the HX1000 Platinum 2017 is adequate. Since PSUs with this kind of output power
are often used for PCs with multiple graphics cards, it's great to see four PCIe cables with two connectors each. Apart from that there are two EPS/ATX 12V with 8Pin connector.

With this power supply
Corsair is offering a single rail design that can be switched over to a multi rail design. Regarding the single 12V rail there is a total 83.3A,
which can be turned into heat by the graphics cards for instance. Should you decide to engage the multi rail mode, every 12V connector will be over current protected when 40A are reached.
